WILLIAM F. BOAST AND WILLIAM B. CONRAD, OF STERLNG, COLORADO.

Moron-CYCLE HANDLE. i

1,03,8i56. Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led October 3, 1911.

Patented July 2, 1912. serial No. 652,606.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that we, WILLIAM F. BoAs'r and WILLIAM B. CONRAD, citizens of. the United States, residingV at Sterlin in the countyof Logan and State of (,olorado, have invented certain new vand useful Improvements in Motor-Cycle Handles, of which the following is a specifica'ion.

This invention relates to handles for mo- :orcycles and the like, and has for its-object yo provide a handle adapted to be firmly :eated upon the handle bar of the machine and which possesses an ample amount of esiliency to relieve the arms of an operaor from the-incessant jar to which the hanle bar is subjected.

With the above object in View the handle ansists of a grip made of resilient material, referably rubber, with a coi-led s ring inarted therein. The saidgrip is adhpted to e positioned upon the'end of the handle 1r with its out-er end spaced fromthe outer ld of the bar. A second grip is provided the outer end of the first mentioned grip ld may be used forcontrolling the handle ir should the operator vso desire.

Further objects and advantages will apar in the following description, it being iderstood that various changes in form, oportions, and minor details of construen may be resorted to within the scope ot a' appended claiins. Fora full understanding ofthe invent-ion ierence is to be had to the following de ipltion and accompanying drawing, in 1c 1:

Tigure 1 is a longitudinal I the handle; and Fig. 2 is a detail secial View ot' a 'portion ofthe same. lorresponding and like parts are referred in the following description and indi ad in all the views 'of the aceompanyingl wing by the same reference characters.

he handle consists of a grip 1 which is t'erably formed fromv rubber or similar ible material, and in which a coiled ng' 2 is embedded. The spring 2 exe ifs approximately the' length of the grip ld at its outer ortion is reduced in din ter, as at 3, wliereby it fits within the grip. The grip is hollow closed as at 4. A block 5 is inserted in the grip land engages the reduced portion 3 of the-spring 2. A bolt 6 passes through the' block 5 and the closed lend 4 of the grip l 55 and a bail 7 is positioned upon the outer end of the bolt 6 and is. held thereon by means of a nut 8 which is screw threaded upon the outer end of the said bolt. A bar 9 connects the ends of the bail together and 60 a grip l0 is positioned upon the bar 9 between the ends of the bail 7.`

When the grip 1 is positioned upon the end of a handle bar which is indicated at 11, the outer closed end 4 of the grip l is 65 spaced from the end of the handle vbar 1l so that a portion of the grip l is approximately rigi with the handle bar, while a portion of the said-grip may Hex or bend with relation to the handle'bar.. Therefore 7o it will be seen that an operator may grasp the grip l at that portion thereof which is approximately ri id uponftheV bar ll and at the same time-t e grip l by reason of its resilient material .will give sutliciently to prevent the arm and hand of the voperator from heilig subjected to ordinary' jarring or vibration of the handle bar. The operator may grasp the outer portion of the grip l which may bend or iex with relation to the bar 11 vand thus the hand and arm of the operator is relieved of excessive jarring or vibration of the handle bar. It' the operator so desires he may grasp the grip l0 at the outer end of the grip .l and-thus his hand is held. at the end of the bar l1 and may be changed from a direction parallel with the bar'fll into a position at right angle to the said bar. This will afford rest by reason of the change of position,

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is;

l. A. handle comprising a hollow grip ot' resilient material, a. coiled spring embeddedA therein,y a block located in the outer end of the grip, a bolt passing through the block,

a bail mounted upon the bolt7 a rod connecting the ends ot' the bail together, -and a grip with its outer end sectional View located upon said rod.

2. A handle comprising a hollow grip, a

coiled spring embedded therein and reduced In testimony whereof We ax sur signa,- n diameter at its outer portion to Wlthin tures in presence of two Wnesees. asgiggigtizzsgegf ggg; gl. ggg@ E; i@ tion of the spring, :L bolt passing through J l l Y the block, aV bail mounted upon the bolt, a /Vtnesses:
